Hi Lynette,
Great! I won't know if I can make it until it gets closer to the time ---but if I do get to ride this year maybe we can connect at the event.

I'm riding with Lynette, and about 8 others!
Hey, SurlyGirl, I spent a week on Vinalhaven island many years ago with my (now) ex-husband. Got the best lobsters ever fresh from the water. I think the lobsterman's name was Henry Gross. We rented a house there. Great memories. Small world!

I'm signed up for the 50! Hope it's good weather, as I am thinking of camping in a nearby state park (not to mention for the riding).
Hi Quint41
Sorry I didn't reply, been off the boards awhile.
Yes Vinalhaven is a great place. We sold our place
up there this year which makes me very sad. To many
family members after 3 generations to divide the time
fairly. Just got to complicated.
Best Lobsta I ever had we bought right off the boat there.
I just completed the Lobster Ride and Roll... Awesome ride! I completed the 100 mile ride... great scenery (even in the pouring rain)... Friendly people! Great food! (except last sag) but that stop was at a Maine Lighthouse.... so that made up for eating peanut butter on a fig bar! The Lobster Roll at the end was the best! Light traffic, fun hills, both up and down and again, beautiful scenery!
I did the lobster ride last year. What everyone says is true - well supported, energetic people, good food at the end :-) I did the century and the roads on the last 1/2 really needed to be repaved, but no complaints other than that.
Here's a link to the route and elevation. If you're doing the 50 it's just the last 50 miles of the century:
